At 0:08 In this short video from the 2013 NAMM show, DJ QBert explains that the Z2 is the center of his setup.
"...Oh man, that's my setup! This is my setup, in my house, if you want to know... it's a Stanton STR-8 turntable and of course a Traktor Z2."

Solid mixer, the innofaders are great for cutting, in terms of beat juggling it often times would be so light it would bounce off the end of the mixer which caused cuts to not be as clean. I might have bought from a bad batch, but my crossfader broke after less than a year.

This is a fantastic and extremely underrated mixer. It's very solid and feels great to mix on. Everything is laid out well and it has replaceable innofaders. This works very well as a introduction piece to DJing, Digital DJing, scratching, you name it. I actually use it in the Witchpunk band I'm in with my girlfriend. It truly is my analogue to the "axe". Hey! If Qbert uses it, that's gotta account for something, right?

Perfect performance mixer with additional tracktor functionality but also compatible with analog setup such as CDJs and Vinyls (and it also has a built-in traktor scratch interface!). The innofaders are just great and it offers an overall perfect built quality.
